Blossom In Presence

Posted on by

*

it is so

that every morning

I go about pressing the foot

on the same path that’s how

.

habits are formed good ones

.

I have learned in between

.

steps to make treasure of

observation new revelations

as they come blossom

.

in presence

.

This is the first poem posted in 2021 with my wish to you that you will blossom in presence in all of your beauty.

~ Also, tomorrow is my birthday and I wish to myself the good habit to be present and grateful every day that is given to me.

This poem is part of the poetry collection California Notebooks that can be bought on Amazon with a special discount.

Enjoy reading poetry, enjoy basking in its beauty, there is still much we can be grateful for…

Beauty Lingering

Posted on by

it’s an afterward
moving

this of giving poetry
a way

to talk about the beauty
lingering

unseen
sensitivity shining

bright
in our darker days

when we
think there’s little

to be seen

On Clouds – California Notebooks 01

Posted on by
Standard

*

I’m not knowledgeable
on climatic changes

the way the winds go
on high or low pressure

I didn’t keep my head on books

but clouds those I know

teaching us
how to be in life

the best ones being
those moving fast

giving no resistance
to life happenings

they follow whatever
wind coming their way

you see them glorying

and soon happily gone

busy dancing
life out

no time to pout – others
grow dark and sit dense

giving headaches

to some of us

they build resistance
to any life changes

no escape
the heaviness

they create
will break on us all

A Different Point Of View

Posted on by

I may indulge

in upside down

visions a different

point of

view

.

giving you pictures

of reflections

shadows clouds

and waters

.

all fleeting

all temporarily

true

Now

Posted on by

now it’s my turn

to be sitting on

a park bench

alone listening

something is coming

what is is coming

.

This was the only English poem performed on my first poetic reading after the Covid-19 lockdown, last weekend, when asked to do a public reading during the finissage of an art show Called Opulenza Vegetale (Vegetable Opulence). The performance took place in an old site, a church dated 1289, in Italy. If interested in a short video click here, Now.

In Spite Of Me

Posted on by
Standard

*

when my words
surfacing out of
poetry define
who am I
I cry

I also
rejoice and
stand still as
if suspended
all at the same
exact

time holding
that tiny particle
of truth inside me
that shining in spite
of me

Seasons

Posted on by

I end up at times

visiting old friends

dinners stretching

.

over time feeding

our souls

the privilege

.

of recalling

the spirit’s

visitations

.

our hearts

a candle burning

quietly

.

steadily shaking

in the evening

breeze leaves

.

we are made to fall

and to die

full of colors

.

when it’s season

.

“Not Rosaries Nor Missals” is a collections of poems started on July 2013. This poem comes from that collection.

A Place To Be

Posted on by
Standard

*
a place where

is no expectations
from others to be

some kind of perfect
god under sunshine

to relax where

everything in its
natural beauty lines up

me not too big
nor too small

for some people

doors where
my key wasn’t fitting

may be one
of my crazy dreams

Well Defined

Posted on by

I will walk away from
the crowds and their buzz
finding an island to float serene
on way away from cravings
looks and strong odors
to my own shadow
well defined

An Upside Down World

Posted on by
Standard

*

tonight
the moon is full

emptied from a thousand
engagements I lay in hot
water maybe illuminated

from the sky the silence
repose approaching
hidden from light

an upside down world
a somersault and a wriggle to

find myself wondering star under
inside some lights I turn off
before the thoughts – then the eyes

slightly vibrating
weightless in the space
I found within

Give Shapes To Music

Posted on by
Standard

*
my favorite occupation
has been that of
listening to silence

to give shapes
to music singing
with my hands

on top of the colors
that lay already there
to tiptoe in-love

slowing down
my responses
to evade darkness

into the beauty held
inside as the harmony
viable all around

How Often We Forget

Posted on by
Standard

*
how often we forget
it is us revolving
around the sun

we sit contemplating
in our living room
the shadows changing

how often we forget
we are mirrors
of others attitudes

we point the finger
pick up a part to act
just impersonating

how often we forget
to simply be a simple
word being thank you

no chats about the sun
moving raising setting
telling ourselves truths
